Cambridge Area 20121006

The Orange Milky (Lactarius deliciousus) is abundant and grows everywhere under hemlock.

 Cold days stimulated someBlewits (Lepista nuda, or lately classified as Clitocybe nuda).

 Linda was busy picking them up.....

 Some gorgeous samples of Agaricus silvicola. Maybe a little too mature for actual pickung, but they look majestic at the background of dark needles.

 This year there is really great numbers of Lepista irina. Found numerous partial fairy rings> Too bad this is not a good edible,

Also, some tricholomas came out in forcel a lot of fairy rings of Tricholoma vaccinum:

Edge of the Escapement - Paddy green Road 20120928

Still great numbers of Honey Mushrooms.No wander they are confusing for the beginners;several examples, all found within 0.5 km:

Some bunches of what I am pretty sure is Hypholoma capnoides, but the characteristics are too near Sulfur Tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare) for comfort.

 The whole fields of Aborted Entelomas:

 This looks like Enteloma clypeatum (somewhat over mature stage though), but not too sure.

 The amanitas are coming up again.

Some impressive slime mold.

 Found one big beech tree with several bunches of Lentinellus cochleatus around it. Pretty good edible, somewhat chewy if the lower stalk is not removed.
